Thanks very much for your question. They are both wonderful sounding pieces. I personally prefer the Denon. Thanks again!

I have an iPhone5 and older model Bose Sound Dock and it works fine. Bluetooth was easy to set up. The only limitation is how far you can go away from the Dock while carrying the phone. I leave the phone near the dock, rather than in my pocket, while working or relaxing nearby.

Yes if you use the blue tooth or buy the adapter I use it for my iphone 5 was a really good unit and then stopped working after about a year now I bought myself the Mini Bose dock it is awesome and sounds way better.

I have had both and prefer the Audio technica for comfort and noise reduction. The Bose are more streamlined and attractive.

Exactly what Paul said! You can also buy an iPod dock specifically for the Bose, but it costs about $100. It's much cheaper to buy the cable. I love mine except for the clackety clack racket it makes when it changes cd's and I'm trying to nod off to sleep. But that's only when I'm trying to go to sleep that it bothers me. I play nature sounds and they are amazingly realistic with the Bose sound!

I tried both. The Bose QC20 is definitely better, but it is also 2 1/2 times the price.

You cannot compare this to the Bose. If you want to spend $200-300 buy the Bose, Beats Pill, or the new Soul one. This thing is worth $35 bucks, and the sound quality is good for what IT is worth. But there is no comparison to the Bose.

It will make a huge difference. When using one speaker it sounds as good as any other solid iPod dock. The second speaker literally turns it into a stereo system. The sound quality and volume are definitely amped up.

It will sound better than any dock as long as:1. Your music isn't overly compressed, which most people tend to do because the iPod headphone out is designed for garbage sound (portable ear buds basically) so no sense in wasting iPod storage space with larger files.2. You use the line out on your pod. Headphone connector will not sound good with this setup (or any setup really). Use the line out and the sound will be great though.

Hi Max, with regards to the comparison, personally I feel there is no comparison. The PSB is far superior in sound quality. Howvere the noise cancellation in the Bose is impressive. With regards to whether people can hear you in the library, I would say like any head phone when played at a very high volume people near you can hear you especially in a quiet surrounding like the library. But if played at a reasonable volume your're pretty safe. Ask a friend to give feedback or ask a friend to put the headphones on and you listen. That's the best gauge. Battery life based on 4 hr usage a day last more than 2 months. Reviewers say it last 55 hrs on a day and night usage. Hope this helps.

I have never owned a Bose, so can't really respond to that. However, I can tell you the sound is very good for the price and I would recommend it. I use mine in my bedroom or living room.

Hmm, I'm not really sure how to quantify it. I would say that on a scale of 1 to 10, if an iphone on max volume is a 1, and a bose sounddock on max volume is a 10, this is about a 3.

It does pretty good. I must say that my altec Lansing has better quality sound. Better clarity and bass. Much louder than the bose.

It really does not compare. The Bose has a bad sound quality compared to these speaker. The klipsch are bigger, but the pack tremondous range in sound quality. From the lows, mid and highs. Excellent bass also. With the bose, you basically loose the midrange given that they pack small sound system in the tiny speakers for home theater. The bose excell in the highs and are loud. But at the highs you loose clarity, quality and the bose does not compare to the quality of these speakers. The klipsch are the best quality you get get for the money. I bought theses after I returned the theater in a box paclage form bose and costco. It really does not compare. The Bose has a bad sound quality compared to these speaker.

Michelle... I have both the Kicker 501 and this one, which is basically the same but wireless. The 501 has slightly more full sound because it doesn't lose any sound quality from the wireless it seems. Don't get me wrong, I shopped for a long time, listened to Bose (the standard bearer) and compared, and the Kickers blow away the competition. And as a bonus, they are generally less expensive. To answer your question more directly, yes. Both will do the job but if the wireless feature is not necessary I would save the money and go with the 501. Her are a couple ways to connect other devices besides an iPod or an iPhone, including an 3.5 mm earphone type jack, and a RCA connection. I hope this helps. Michelle...

Buying The Bose system you asked about is a major mistake. There's much better performing systems that cost much less. It isn't a computer so it won't allow many options you may like. They want you to believe that the sound is better than anything else. You can duplicate the sound by increasing base on other systems. Bose won't allow you to tamper with the sound.
